AN OLD-TIME MELODY.
Annie Laurie.
This song was originally written
by William Douglas of Finland,
Scotland, in the eighteenth century.
there are several versions, the one
given below being greatly Anglicized
and modernized. The original An
nie Lturie was a beautiful Scots
woman of the end of the seventeenth
century.
Maxwelton braos are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew,
And it's there that Annie Laurie
CDtrie'd me herpromine true;
tT.lGie'd me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgst will be;
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay nie doune and dee.
Her brow is like the snow-drift;
Her throat is like the swan;
Her face it is the fairest
That e'er the sun shone on;
That e'er the sun shene on,
And dark and blue is her ee;
And for bonnie Annie Iurie
I'd lay me doune and dee.
Like dew on the gawan lying
Is the fa' of her fairy feet;
Like the winds in summer sighing,
Her voice is low and sweet;
Her voico is low and sweet,
And she's a' the world to me;
And for bonnie Annie Ijiurie
I'd lay me doune and dee.
This sng has made the name of
Douglas immortal and will hold
its place in the heart of the English
speaking raoe as long as the lan
guage Lists.
Of Douglas and his love story
little is learned from history. Lit
tle is know save that he loved
Annie Laurie, of Maxwelton, who
gave him her "promise true", but
who, alas! married not him, but his
wealthy rival; Fergusson, of Craig
darrock. Despondent, because of
his lost love Douglas, proudest of
the historic house of Douglass, of
Scotland, entered the war which
rent Europe in twain at the time
of Louis XlT. He later returned
home and married, but no living
descendant of his line is known.
Of Annie Laurie much ampler
chronicles are given.
She was born at the residence of
the Riddles, herjmothers people,
near ' Maxwelton, December 16,
1682. The event was recorded by
her father, Robert Laurie, in a
manuscript note which is still ex
tant at J Bar jag, the village of her
birth.
Her childhood davs were spent
at the Maxwelton House. The
mansion is preserved to-day in
ancient beiuty and is visited by
thousands of pilgrims every year.
It came into the pos-ession of Robert
Laurie three years after the birth of
his famous daughter, when he was
created a bormiet "for his merits"
by James II.
The present occupant is a graud
n?phew of the last Sir Uwbert
Lauiie. His proper title aud style
is Rev. Sii Emilius Laurie, Baronet
He has passed his 80th birthday
and he aud Lady Laui ie celebrated
their golden wedding last year.
The Maxwelton House stands ou
an eminence from whih the ground
slopes gently away on all sides. Be
low is a double terrace laid out in

All that glitters is not guilt.
There is always a head waiter in
a crowded barbershop.
Most people find it easier to de
scribe charity than to demonstrate
it.
After ja man once tries the rest
cure he hasn't much use for any
other brand.
A man always has a plausible ex
cuse for not obeying the love-thy
neighboi-as-thy-self command.
Nothing makes an angry man so
